Hi Leni, Thanks for searching that website for Lenore. As Laura said, the vase is more contemporary and believe done for Oggetti.

Hi again Lenore,Do let us know what the style is called!Looks like a big milkshake with chocolate topping to me, :D

Hi,Will let you know when I get a response. None to date. Yum, chocolate! The base color is sort of a lavender and the upper portion is a deep burgundy. Fairly thick massive piece.Lenore

lenore:
Yeah! Received an e-mail back from Barbin glassworks regarding this piece (it was from a person with the last name of Barbin too!) Anway, here it is! Although they didn't indicate a specific technique I now know it is from 1979 (or at least designed then) and by Flavio.

The original of the model you sent the illustration was done on 1979 design FLAVIO BARBINI:

It was blown by mouth and individually made by the glass master.We stopped production long time ago.
